arm64: errata: Mitigate TLBI errata on Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100 CPU

2026-06-19T11:21:49+00:00

commit 1940e70a8144bf75e6df26bf6f600862ea7f7ea1 upstream. Commit fb091ff39479 ("arm64: Subscribe Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100 to ARM Neoverse N2 errata") states that Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100 CPU "is a Microsoft implemented CPU based on r0p0 of the ARM Neoverse N2 CPU, and therefore suffers from all the same errata.". So enable the workaround for the latest broadcast TLB invalidation bug on these parts.

arm64: errata: Mitigate TLBI errata on NVIDIA Olympus CPU

2026-06-19T11:21:48+00:00

commit ec7216f92e4ebd485b1c6dc6aa3f6064b71a5768 upstream. NVIDIA Olympus cores are affected by the TLBI completion issue tracked as CVE-2025-10263. The existing ARM64_ERRATUM_4118414 handling already uses ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI to issue an additional broadcast TLBI;DSB sequence and ensure affected memory write effects are globally observed. Add MIDR_NVIDIA_OLYMPUS to the repeat-TLBI match list so the same mitigation is enabled on affected Olympus systems. Also document the NVIDIA Olympus erratum in the arm64 silicon errata table and list it in the Kconfig help text.

arm64: errata: Mitigate TLBI errata on various Arm CPUs

2026-06-19T11:21:48+00:00

commit cfd391e74134db664feb499d43af286380b10ba8 upstream. A number of CPUs developed by Arm suffer from errata whereby a broadcast TLBI;DSB sequence may complete before the global observation of writes which are translated by an affected TLB entry. These errata ONLY affect the completion of memory accesses which have been translated by an invalidated TLB entry, and these errata DO NOT affect the actual invalidation of TLB entries. TLB entries are removed correctly. This issue has been assigned CVE ID CVE-2025-10263. To mitigate this issue, Arm recommends that software follows any affected TLBI;DSB sequence with an additional TLBI;DSB, which will ensure that all memory write effects affected by the first TLBI have been globally observed. The additional TLBI can use any operation that is broadcast to affected CPUs, and the additional DSB can use any option that is sufficient to complete the additional TLBI. The ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is sufficient to mitigate the issue. Enable this workaround for affected CPUs, and update the silicon errata documentation accordingly. Note that due to the manner in which Arm develops IP and tracks errata, some CPUs share a common erratum number.

Documentation: fix a hugetlbfs reservation statement

2026-06-01T15:29:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7a197d346a44384a1a858a98ef03766840e561d4 ] Documentation/mm/hugetlbfs_reserv.rst has if (resv_needed <= (resv_huge_pages - free_huge_pages)) resv_huge_pages += resv_needed; which describes this code in gather_surplus_pages() needed = (h->resv_huge_pages + delta) - h->free_huge_pages; if (needed <= 0) { h->resv_huge_pages += delta; return 0; } which means if there are enough free hugepages to account for the new reservation, simply update the global reservation count without further action. But the description is backwards, it should be if (resv_needed <= (free_huge_pages - resv_huge_pages)) instead.

hwmon: (adm1177) fix sysfs ABI violation and current unit conversion

2026-04-18T08:31:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit bf08749a6abb6d1959bfdc0edc32c640df407558 ] The adm1177 driver exposes the current alert threshold through hwmon_curr_max_alarm. This violates the hwmon sysfs ABI, where *_alarm attributes are read-only status flags and writable thresholds must use currN_max. The driver also stores the threshold internally in microamps, while currN_max is defined in milliamps. Convert the threshold accordingly on both the read and write paths. Widen the cached threshold and related calculations to 64 bits so that small shunt resistor values do not cause truncation or overflow. Also use 64-bit arithmetic for the mA/uA conversions, clamp writes to the range the hardware can represent, and propagate failures from adm1177_write_alert_thr() instead of silently ignoring them. Update the hwmon documentation to reflect the attribute rename and the correct units returned by the driver.
